Alternative to LSP for C/C++ that doesn’t require installing extra packages on the system
Very dated and next to useless on large complex CPP codebases. Use a language server. I recommend the straight package manager. https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el

Package contribution workflow
Have you tried using straight.el or the heir-apparent Elpaca? These package managers will check out the git repo of said packages, and you can easily fork them with magit and forge. That's that I do to contribute to packages.

Help install simple package (htmlz-mode)
Thank you for your time addressing all those issues and sorry if questions were misinformed - I found your advices invaluable to understand design goals of package managers in emacs.
- Which package manager should I use?
-
How do you guys install some pkgs ain't hosted on melpa?
I used straight.el, now I use Elpaca.

doom emacs
Doom Emacs is not a package manager. It has a package manager, which is based on Straight.el.

Boilerplate config
I have been crafting my emacs config for about 10 years. I started with vanilla and intentionally stayed away from frameworks. About two years ago I declared config bankruptcy and went down for a rewrite using use-package and straight.

Please help me!..
First install straight.el (https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el)

How can I speed up my start up times?
If you use straight and override package, you'll get a lot of your desired functionality for free. Straight's docs are excellent. I started banging away on my own setup from scratch, and while not perfect, it does what I want and the total startup time is about 1.5 seconds without doing anything to try to optimize it. If you want to see it, check it out here. Like I said, there is lots of room for improvement, but it does work for me.

Guide to Org Cite
YMMV, but I would personally recommend ebib + zotra as a Zotero replacment. I used Zotero and org-cite for a few months but then dropped Zotero and went for a pure Emacs solution. I'm very pleased with the results.
-
[Update] Zotra: using the power of Zotero in Emacs to manage citations and pdf files
Nice work! I switch from Zotero to ebib and have used the Zotero translation server for a long time. It's nice to see a dedicated package. It would be much appreciated if you could support ebib like https://github.com/joostkremers/ebib/issues/220 then I can remove the funs in my configs.
-
How do YOU write academic papers in org-mode?
Yes, I do use a citation manager. I've used Zotero with BibLatex export in the past, but now use ebib directly inside Emacs (and which directly reads and writes Bib(La)tex). Pandoc's use of CSL for citation styling is really convenient, and mostly works great. I wasn't so sure if I could format citations and references just as easily using org-export.
-
use-package :bind blocks the default keybindings for ebib-biblio. Without :bind they work (but I don't get my own ones with :bind). Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
This didn't work. I got a warning that the package ebib-biblio could not be found. I realised that this was because I was using the straight version of use-package, which (only?) looks for packages in the repos, when in this case ebib-biblio is distributes as part of ebib. This didn't produce any warnings:

Writers, what are your favorite underrated packages?
ebib.
